Airliner Backlogs Build Back Bigger at Paris 2023
Rising revenue flows could prompt a further wave of mergers and acquisitions activity despite supply chain strains and rising capital costs.

Avolon signed an MoU for 20 Airbus A330neos.

Airliner backlogs continue to build back bigger at the Paris Airshow with more sales agreements signed in chalets on Wednesday. While the flow of new deals slowed somewhat compared with the event’s first two days, the scale of the new business appears on track to meet at least the lower end of UK-consultancy IBA’s projection of between 2,100 and 3,000 aircraft.

Avolon once again stepped up to sign a memorandum of understanding to take 20 Airbus A330s. The leasing group indicated its eagerness to secure early delivery slots for the A330-900 version of the twin-engined jet.
